  • Number of previous OBC poster presentations
  • Preferred presentation type (podium or poster)
  • Podium priority order
  • Completed or in-progress study

Supervisors submitting several abstracts should combine these into a single, compressed (.zip) file with the supervisor's surname and university in the file name. Please use the following file name format:
